Excerpt from An Accompaniment to Mitchell's Reference and Distance Map of the United States: Containing an Index of All the Countries, Districts, Townships, Towns, &C., In the Union; Together With an Index of the Rivers; By Which Any County, District, Township, &C., Or River, May Be Found on the Map Without Difficulty
The absence of an alphabetical arrangement in a considerable portion of the census of 1830, as published by authority, was productive, in the formation of the Index, of a vast increase in the amount of the labor and perplexity, always attending works of that kind. The endless pluralities of the names of places in the United States, is well known; and is the cause, in numerous instances, of great perplexity; especially, to men of business, in the receipt and transmission of letters, This will be at once evident, when it is known, that, on the map, and consequently in the United States, there are 100 counties, towns, &e. Bearing the venerated name of Washington; 79, of Jackson; 73, of Franklin; 66, of Jefferson; and, in fact, an unceasing repetition of the names of all our popular public men, and Revolutionary patriots a circumstance proving, however,'that the services of distinguished public men have a strong hold on the affections of the people of the United States. The Index and Map will, it is believed, obviate, in a majority of cases, difficulties of this kind, by determining, at once, the county and State in which the place sought for is located; which could not be, perhaps, ascertained, without the assistance of such a work, except at the expense of considerable time and trouble. The distances, in miles, attached to the different towns, &c. From Washington city, and from their respective State capitals, will to all persons be interesting; and, to many, more or less useful. They are derived from the most authentic source in the country, viz. The General Post Office; for assistance in which respect, the publisher is particularly indebted to Colonel Gardner, of that department.
The Index of Rivers, and the plan adopted for ascertaining their respective places in the Map, are now introduced in a work of this kind, for the first time: the utility of which, we think, will be obvious to every one who has ever had occasion to consult a map.
The plan and the limits prescribed for this work, preclude any but the most brief geographical details. Those introduced in the general view of the Union, and in the individual States, are adopted more for the purpose of classifying the topographical and statistical information considered necessary for elucidating and increasing the utility of the map, than with any expectation of adding new facts, or of exhibiting any views in addition to those found in the numerous geographical publications already before the public.
